Please split the .yaml file changes into a single patch, separate
from the code changes. Also please make sure that the subject indicates
that this is a bindings change.
For this change, we'll definitely need feedback from Rob. I am not sure
if such a generic compatible string is permitted or if we need to change
the dts files instead.
On a higher level, while lm75 is an extreme case, I see a few other
violators as well.
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_ad7417_sensor.c: { .compatible = "ad7417", },
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_max6690_sensor.c: { .compatible = "max6690", },
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga_arria10_socdk.dtsi: compatible = "ltc2977";
arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-arm-centriq2400-rep.dts: compatible = "tmp421";
arch/arm/boot/dts/nuvoton-npcm750-evb.dts: compatible = "tmp100";
arch/arm/boot/dts/nuvoton-npcm750-evb.dts: compatible = "tmp100";
so it would be good to know how to handle those in general.
Note that there is also:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/repaper.txt: compatible = "lm75b";
but maybe that doesn't matter as much since it is not actually
used in dts files.
Thanks,
Guenter
